AUSTIN, Texas (CBS Houston/AP)
— U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz has told a conservative conference that President
Barack Obama is lawless, providing the right wing rhetoric that makes
him so popular in his home state.
The conservative Republican laid out his reasoning for why he thinks the president is “dangerous and terrifying.”
According
to the Statesman, Cruz also slammed the POTUS for what he referred to
as a pattern of “lawlessness on a breathtaking scale.”
“We are a
nation of laws and not men,” Cruz was additionally quoted as saying by
the website. “If we had a system where a president can pick and choose
what laws to follow at utter whim … that is seriously dangerous.”
The
public policy conference at which he spoke was sponsored by the
conservative Texas Public Policy Foundation. Minutes before his address,
the organization posted a photograph of Cruz on their official Facebook
page.
His address comes just one day after he released a statement on his official website that took aim at Obama’s “promise zone.”
